Joanna Weaver

Joanna Weaver is known the world over for her transparent and life-changing books, Having A Mary Heart in a Martha World and Having a Mary Spirit. Joanna has appeared on a wide variety of nationally syndicated radio and television broadcasts. She is also a highly sought after speaker and shares her message at intimate gatherings and several high profile events each year. But Joanna’s greatest joy is found in being a wife and mother and her role as a pastor’s wife.

Intimacy with God—to know Him and be known by Him. It is what our hearts desperately need, but somehow life conspires to keep us busy and distracted.

For anyone who struggles when it comes to daily devotions, At the Feet of Jesus extends an irresistible invitation to set aside your duties and find the amazing peace and incredible joy that come from time alone with Him. Drawn from Joanna Weaver’s beloved Bethany trilogy, each reading in this 365-day devotional includes a Bible reading passage and reflection question. All-new material and “Going Deeper” sidebars are also woven throughout.

Discover for yourself the riches that come from spending a portion of each day alone with God. At the feet of Jesus—where true life begins!

True Life Begins At the Feet of Jesus

Seattle: Each one of us was created to do more than simply serve God. The Father intended us to know Him-to have an intimate relationship with Him. However, God isn’t like a casual acquaintance on Facebook that we can just check in with every now and then. In order to have closeness with God, we must read His word, devote time to study, and talk to Him in prayer. Our heart desperately needs this intimate connection, but often life keeps us too busy and distracted with responsibilities to develop a devoted time of worship.

“Balance. That’s what it is all about, and Joanna Weaver has found it, described it, and called us to this wonderful, practical work. If you have ever struggled with how you can find one quiet moment while longing for a deep holy communion or if you have been discouraged because neither seems possible, you will be challenged and blessed by Having a Mary Heart in a Martha World!”

~ Jan Silvious, author of Foolproofing Your Life

“Once again [Having a Mary Spirit], Joanna Weaver guides us gently, lovingly, yet firmly along the life-changing path of righteousness. Her honesty about her own struggles assures us we’re not alone. And her commitment to biblical truth reminds us God will be with us every step of the way. I promise you’ll emerge from this reading experience a changed woman!”

~ Liz Curtis Higgs, best-selling author of Bad Girls of the Bible

“The word that wouldn’t leave me when reading Lazarus Awakening is ‘deep.’ Joanna Weaver’s words are rooted deep in Scripture, they dove deep into my heart, and they deeply impacted my emotions as I’ve come to a better understanding that Jesus loves me because of who I am, not what I’ve done. I cried many tears through these pages, as my own questions were tackled, my own fears revealed. In the end, I’ve come away with a deeper understanding of what it means to be loved by God. I am blessed. I am loved, and Jesus means more to me than ever before. Highly recommended.”

~ Tricia Goyer author of more than 30 books, including Blue Like Play Dough and Lead Your Family Like Jesus with Ken Blanchard and Phil Hodges

Book Review: At the Feet of Jesus, by Joanna Weaver

5

I had no idea how much I would be moved by this devotional, especially since some of my favorite devotionals are “My Utmost For His Highest”, “Jesus Calling” and “Experiencing God Day By Day”, but it has not disappointed at all.

As a matter of fact, I would actually place this devotional right up there with those three and say that this past year as I have been reading it I have been profoundly moved, have shared parts of it via twitter, Facebook and even other parts in reading during one of my teachings in Women’s Ministry at my church.

At The Feet Of Jesus: A Book Review

The book is a dated devotional, that will have you reflecting and taking the time to really understand what Jesus wants for our lives. To take time from our chaotic lives and really sit at His feet and listen to what He wants us to hear.

Joanna Weaver has put a lot of effort and thought into this Devotional, and I really enjoyed it. I keep this book close to where I sit, and I grab it whenever I have a few minutes of undisturbed time, to study.

Great Devotional!

5

I always love well-written devotional books–especially when they are written by strong Christian women. And that is the best way to describe this book. Joanna Weaver has taken best-known portions of some of her books. There are several things I love about this devotionals. First of all, it is divided by dates, and there is a reading for each day of the week. Secondly, there is a Bible reading assignment each day, and you are encouraged to respond to each day’sreading. What a novel idea–actually having to use the Bible to do your devotions!

Where We Really Want to Be: At the Feet of Jesus

I was drawn to the devotional book At the Feet of Jesus because it called out to us Mary’s in a Martha world. As moms, wives, and Christians we get so caught up in the busyness of life. Even when we want to make time for God, we get distracted. God has called us for more than just serving Him as Martha did, but He wants to know us, too, as Mary did. That’s what this devotional is all about.

Transformation: At the Feet of Jesus with Joanna Weaver

At the Feet of Jesus has been a source of encouragement and inspiration. I love being able to soak in Joanna’s wisdom and comments on Scripture with each morning reading. And since Christmas is just around the corner, I can’t help but think that this would make a great gift for the friends on my shopping list!

Drew Me Closer to Jesus

5

This devotional book really helped me to become closer with Jesus. I had recently prayed that Jesus would meet with me and that I would understand how he wanted to meet with me. I started a journal titled “My friendship with Yeshua (Jesus)” when I started reading this devotional book. As I read through the devotional readings, I started picturing Jesus right across from me, pointing to places in the Bible and in this book that he thought were important for me to know, so I think that must be the way that Jesus has decided to meet with me while I read this book.

Not only is this a lovely daily devotion, it goes one step further with sections called “Going Deeper” scattered throughout the book that gives great tips for using the devotion to delve deeper into God’s word. There is also a special reading guide to going through the Bible in one year at the end of the book. I highly recommend this book for anyone looking for a new guide to their spiritual life for the upcoming new year! It would als

If you have read all three of Joanna Weaver’s books, you will find some new material in this devotional, however a lot of the book is a review familiar concepts. The book still feels fresh and is not merely a rehashing, however. Through daily readings I was reminded of key points that I had frankly forgotten over the years such as “Flesh Woman.”

At the Feet of Jesus by Joanna Weaver is a beautifully written book that houses daily devotions for one year. This is a fantastic Christmas gift idea for any women in your life that want to improve their daily walk with Jesus, as they learn to put aside the distractions and sit at His feet.The author uses themes such as intimacy with God, humility, being set free from anxiousness and sin, having a Christlike heart,recognizing the voice of the Holy Spirit, forgiveness, overcoming fear, encouraging others, faith, compassion, spiritual growth, love, obedience,and the promises of God. What a blessing to be able to reference these devotions throughout the year as we learn to focus on Him.

At The Feet of Jesus is a wonderful devotional book for women of every walk of life. . . what I love about Joanna Weaver’s new book is that the daily readings don’t take too much time but are so deep you feel as though you’ve spent more time in the Word than you have.

Both approaches to scripture are important – focusing on small sections of scripture to focus on meaning and personal application, as well as getting a broader view of scripture that can only come with reading the Bible in its entirety. This devotional contains it all in one volume.

What really makes this devotional different? Why am I continuing to keep this one beside me rather than adding it to the dusty shelf? Simply that there is an honesty to the writing that is refreshing. Through this honesty there is a deep connection to the struggles I face each day

“At the Feet of Jesus” would make a great gift to anyone you know – perhaps to yourself, if anything I’ve described rings familiar. I see myself journaling in this book, and keeping it as a companion to my bible – which I’m getting a whole lot more out of these days. I know it will do the same for you.

This is a study that encourages and challenges one in everyday living. Before the study begins, the author poses a thought about choosing to give God time and not just the time that’s left over from our day. I hope you choose to give God your time and I highly recommend “At the Feet of Jesus” to help you along that journey.

“At The Feet of Jesus” is a devotional for the person who feels like they just don’t have time to do just that. Joanna Weaver has challenged and encouraged me that
“You were made for more than serving God;
you were made to know Him.”
In this real life “storm” it has been just the reminder I need to stop, BE (not do) still and KNOW that He is God. ☺

It’s hard for me to sit down and soak in God’s Word at times. I want to rush through and not really listen to what He’s saying. Being so busy is to blame for that. Reading Joanne Weaver’s latest devotional At The Feet of Jesus, I’ve managed to slow down and actually hear what both God and the author are saying as I read the Scripture and the devotional provided for each day. I think the best part of the daily devotions is the REFLECT questions.

Oh To sit at the Feet of Jesus!

5

At the Feet of Jesus is a wonderful daily devotional! Author Joanna Weaver’s daily devotions are filled with such encouragement, wisdom, and an overall example of growing closer to the Lord. She shares excerpts from her previous books and also has a very achievable Bible Reading Plan. Her “going deeper” section gives you tips on how to memorize Scripture, setting aside time for quiet time w/the Lord, and deepening your prayer life.

If you love devotionals, you will definitely want this one on your list! This would also make a GREAT Christmas gift!!

Thank you LitFuse for allowing me this complimentary copy in exchange for my honest review!

Like Mary, Jesus’ friend from Bethany, do you long to find the “better thing”? In At the Feet of Jesus Joanna Weaver offers a way to help you do just that. In short, manageable daily readings, she shares simple, yet thought-provoking, devotional ideas and leads you to scripture for further reflection. . .

Enough said...

5

Devotion book sometimes seem like a dime a dozen these days, and almost impossible to figure out which ones are worth the money. This one is more than worth it! With practical application and devotions that speak to your heart, this book is will not only encourage and build up, but even more importantly, convict and coax.

This was a book that I found myself not only reading, but also taking extensive notes and following her prompts for journaling. I loved that she backed up every single day’s devotional with several correlating scriptures for even deeper digging. But most of all, I love the way that this book touched my heart with a gentle pressure that many books never have. I felt like Joanna was speaking directly to me, when I needed it the very most.

One of the things that I appreciated most about this devotional was its ability to attack the issues confronting women today, rather than tiptoeing around them, or only discussing the “feel good” attributes of our walk or what is already going well.

Lovely, Thought Provoking Devotional

5

I liked the short, yet thought provoking devotionals. These are perfect for the busy woman who wants to grow closer to God, yet they also give you the opportunity to “dig-deeper”. There are Scriptures for each devotional so you can read the Scriptures and really ponder of God’s Word.

Beautiful and Enriching

5

Deep padded with an image that brings the reader in as if suddenly surrounded in an intimate, quite setting, “At the Feet of Jesus” Daily Devotions to Nurture a Mary Heart”,is a well thought out devotional that encourages Christian women to have a deeper, more grounded walk as a Christian.

The perfect devotional book for thereluctant daily reader

5

At the Feet of Jesus definitely is the right devotional for me. I can’t even tell you how many times in just a few short weeks I felt like the devotion I was reading was speaking directly to me! I love that in addition to a thought provoking question at the end of each devotion, there is also a cordinating Bible verse to further extend the study and get you in your Bible daily

This devotional is great! I love it! I would recommend this book to anyone who likes a short little devotion in the morning or at any point in your day. These are very quick reads, which I appreciate. This would make a great Christmas present for any woman!

A terrific devotional for those who are wanting to go deeper, yet are pressed for time in their season of life. This book isn’t filled with fluff like a lot of devotionals are nowadays and is a great tool to draw you deeper towards the throne of Christ.

“At the feet of Jesus” is a devotional that will place you right there… at the feet of Jesus. Giving you a little more than just a devotional, you will be encouraged to go deeper in your relationship with God. It’s a perfect mix of encouragment and Bible Study in one book.

Book Review: At the Feet of Jesus, Daily Devotions to Nurture a Mary Heart, by Joanna Weaver

I have read just about everything that Joanna Weaver has ever written. She gets right to the heart of the matter and gets right in your world, messes it up, then places you back in your spot. Leaving you in awe of how she can take passages of Scripture that we’ve read many times before and peel them back to reveal so much more depth and richness. She’s passionate, poetic, and powerful and when she writes something I take notice.

I love devotionals, and as I started reading through this devotional, with my Bible in hand, I imagined throwing myself at the feet of Jesus, and washing His feet with my hair like Mary Magdalene did. If you want to put serious study into this, I recommend keeping a pen and notebook on hand to write down God’s promises, and your thoughts as you consider this.

At the Feet of Jesus

5

With the readings coming directly from her books about Martha, Mary, and Lazarus, I’m challenged daily with the Scripture readings, principles, and reflection questions that keep drawing me back to developing that Mary heart Jesus told Martha she need. Reminders I need as a “recovering” Martha. Even if you haven’t read her other books, this book will be an excellent tool to deepen your devotional time with the Lord.

Joanna Weaver covers issues that I personally encounter daily (a jealous mind, true humility, unfairness, etc.) and clearly ties them to God’s word in a way that’s enjoyable to read and easy to understand. The book is exactly what I look for in a devotional- entertaining (through the use of the author’s personal stories), it cover issues that I can relate to, plus it makes me think long after I’ve read the words.

This book is the perfect compliment to your library. We all have good intentions, and maybe sometimes we actually follow through and re-read books that caused growth, but we don’t always do that. This book is perfect because it takes the best of her previous books (which I have read!) and puts them into one volume.

The style is personal like you’re sitting with Joanna and coming into the Lord’s presence with a friend. Also of note this can cycle through year after year, while it’s dated for the month and day it does not include the year so you won’t feel behind.

I love that she has tips on helping you to enrich and deepen your study as well as a read through the Bible in a year schedule in the back. Most of us could use some encouragement in our daily reading of the Word and this book helps to encourage that a lot! You want to go back the next day to continue on!

Captivating devotional

I am always looking for a way to deepen my time with God and enhance my devotions. Sometimes we just need a guide on our path of study. At the Feet of Jesus Daily devotional by Joanna Weaver has been a terrific aid in my daily study. I love how it has a scripture verse followed by a terrific devotional that takes me deeper into knowledge of Him.

At the Feet of Jesus is a tool that will encourage you to read the Bible, hear what He is saying and express your heart to Him. Grab your Bible, pen, notebook, and the devotional. Make time to do the one thing you really desire to do, sit at the feet of Jesus.

I like how the devotionals are each one page. This makes it easy to read no matter how busy they day gets. There have been a few days where I have found myself catching up on the days devotional while waiting in the preschool pick up line. At the conclusion of each day there is a scripture passage.

Make sure to put this devotional on your Must Read and Devour List!!! I will have this on my shelf waiting to re-read starting with Jan. 1st, 2013 in order to read at the pace that Jesus takes me. The scriptures, the en-lighting words of others thru out the pages, along with the added scriptures and reflections on each page I pray will give us ladies an insight to becoming closer to the Lord. I believe that At the Feet of Jesus is a perfect title!

If you’ve read my blog at all you know I am not normally a devotional type gal. I seem to fail at devotional books. I end up over thinking and trying to come up with the right answers to each devotional, thanks perfectionism. So I usual steer clear of devotional type books. But I have to confess I was pleasantly surprised by this devotional. I don’t know if it is because I am already an avid follower of Joanna Weaver’s books or her writing style that made the difference with this devotional, but I liked it and found it to be helpful in my quiet time. I loved the Scripture referenced listed on each day, I also got hooked on creating my own Bible reading plan. Another thing that made the difference to me was not so much that she was giving me her take on the Scripture but that she guid

What a Treasure!

As someone who has read all of Joanna’s books I anxiously awaited the arrival of this Daily Devotions. What a treasure! The devotions have a verse of the day, beautiful Biblical insight and also scriptures to read and a reflection which could be posed as a question or an opportunity to journal. The devotions allow you to take time to sit still and have time with Jesus. This is a devotional to be used year after year and one that you will one to give as gifts to all the special people in your life. This devotional will enrich your relationship with the Lord as you take time with Him.

The title of this book captured my attention, I wanted to see what way between the covers of this book. And even though there are devotions for each date on the calendar, you can pick this book up and any time, flip through it and find something that will help and encourage you.

I loved how Weaver kept one day flowing into the next leaving you looking forward to reading the next day. The read and reflect portions at the close of each day will help you discover for yourself the truths of God’s Word and the value of spending time with Him daily. Weaver weaves her wisdom with her ability to tell a good story or relate a story from Scripture.

At the Feet of Jesus (Daily Devotionals)

I really love this devotion book because it had a scripture of the day, a daily word, and a reflect on…It might say Use this verse as a template to pray over your day, and I would do just that, and be in the mind of Christ the entire day, not worrying, feeling anxious just knowing that God had whatever I was going through under control!

I also love the devotional name (At the feet of Jesus) that’s where I want to be every day in my prayer time with him! This is a blessed devotional that anyone that knows the Lord, or wants to get to know him shall read daily. I will be passing this book on to a friend!

I am a long time user of devotionals, and actually have several in my collection, but what really stands out with “At the Feet of Jesus” are the Going Deeper sections which are featured once a month. They not only allowed me to pause and reflect but more than that many of them provided useful ideas on how to grow closer spiritually to God. One of my favorite Going Deeper sections was for the month of September, which revolved around Bible Study helps, in which the author shares several approaches to Bible study. Another great tool that is included in this devotional is a unique one year Bible reading guide.

At the Feet of Jesus is a wonderful daily devotional that goes through the entire year. I have read several devotions this year and this is one I am truly enjoying. It is meaty and thought provoking. Leading me closer to Jesus. Joanna Weaver writes in such a way that seem to be for me personally.

What do I think of this devotional? I think It is one that I will enjoy for many years to come. I like to rotate devotionals, using a different one each year. I will be using At the Feet of Jesus in 2013 as a part of my daily devotions. I also like that there is a daily Bible reading guide in the back of the book.

Although it’s not right to judge a book by its cover, I have to mention the fact that this book is just beautiful! It’s a hardcover with a painting of a courtyard in warm colors that just invites you to pick it up and read. I knew this book was going to be special as soon as I saw it! (It would make a lovely gift book for Christmas, too.)

I have really enjoyed the time I have spent reading this devotional, and plan to use it and the Bible reading plan she includes for the year 2013. It is always nice for me to have a new devotional for the new year to go with my daily Bible reading goals.Reading through the Bible every year isn’t difficult, you just need a plan. You will find one here! I recommend this devotional to all Christian women who want to draw closer to Christ, to learn at His feet as Mary did. It will change all of our lives.

Oh my.
This was the first book I picked up once I was clear headed enough after surgery to read and actually comprehend what I was reading. I turned to the page for my devotions for the day, and next thing I know,I was in tears. Literal tears.

I like that this book gives you the option of doing Bible reading along with the devotion rather than needing two separate books. There are some very powerful messages in this book that I take away with me each day.
